Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the
guide bar touches an object, or when the wood
closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause
a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the
guide bar up and back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the
top of the guide bar may push the guide
bar rapidly back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose
control of the saw which could result in serious
personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the
safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw
user, you should take several steps to keep
your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/
or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below:

1. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to battery pack, picking up or carrying the
power tool. Carrying the power tool with your
finger on the switch or energizing power tool
that have the switch on invites accidents.
2. Disconnect the battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
3. Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of
fire when used with another battery pack.
4. Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
5. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
6. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
7. Do not use a battery pack or power tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
8. Do not expose a battery pack or power tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 265°F may cause explosion.
9. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or power tool outside of the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside of the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.
10. Have servicing performed by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the product is maintained.
11. Do not modify or attempt to repair the power
tool or the battery pack except as indicated
in the instructions for use and care.
12. The battery Charger gets hot during use.
The Charger’s heat can build up to
unsafe levels and create a fire
hazard if it does not receive

This tool vibrates during use.
Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may
cause temporary or permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for
an extended period should first be examined
by a doctor and then have regular medical
check-ups to ensure medical problems are not
being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant
women or people who have impaired blood
circulation to the hand, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes, or
Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool.
If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such
as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),
seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration
when there is a choice.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping
safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as
explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.

When bucking and felling operations are being
performed by two or more persons at the same time,
the felling operations should be separated from the
bucking operation by a distance of at least twice the
height of the tree being felled. Trees should not be
felled in a manner that would endanger any person,
strike any utility line or cause any property damage.
If the tree does make contact with any utility line,
the company should be notified immediately.
The chainsaw operator should keep on the
uphill side of the terrain as the tree is likely
to roll or slide downhill after it is felled.
An escape path should be planned and cleared as
necessary before cuts are started. The escape path
should extend back and diagonally to the rear of
the expected line of fall as illustrated in Figure I.
Before felling is started, consider the natural lean
of the tree, the location of larger branches and the
wind direction to judge which way the tree will fall.
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails,
staples and wire from the tree.

Make the notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree,
perpendicular to the direction of falls as illustrated in
Figure J. Make the lower horizontal notching cut first.
This will help to avoid pinching either the saw chain or
the guide bar when the second notch is being made.
=*77"83%;,4X%Q'$
Make the felling back cut at least 2 inches higher
than the horizontal notching cut as illustrated in
Figure J. Keep the felling back cut parallel to the
horizontal notching cut. Make the felling back cut
so enough wood is left to act as a hinge. The hinge
wood keeps the tree from twisting and falling in the
wrong direction. Do not cut through the hinge.
As the felling gets close to the hinge, the tree
should begin to fall. If there is any chance that the
tree may not fall in desired direction or it may rock
back and bind the saw chain, stop cutting before
the felling back cut is complete and use wedges
of wood, plastic or aluminium to open the cut and
drop the tree along the desired line of fall.
When the tree begins to fall remove the chainsaw
from the cut, stop the motor, put the chainsaw
down, then use the retreat path planned. Be alert
for overhead limbs falling and watch your footing.

When “cutting through”, to maintain complete
control release the cutting pressure near the end of
the cut without relaxing your grip on the chainsaw

After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to
stop before you move the chainsaw. Always stop
